Can these panels be used on skylights? Or does it diffuse the light too much?

Yes, I have used them under a skylight application and they work fine. As for the different patterns, the more white cloud formations the more ambient light transmitted. Hope this helps-

I have 6 in my kitchen and get plenty of light. It does diffuse and you get blue light but looks great.

I think they could definitely be used on sky lights. They don't diffuse the light that much. They really take the glare out of the light versus the light itself. I use them in my office with fluorescent lighting. The glare bothers my eyes. The skylights just remove that. Hope that helps.

these have to be held in place by the standard frame that holds light panels in place. if u can think of another way to hold it there....they are quite floppy and tape will not work ( experience)... maybe tiny screws. As far as light diffusement, it depends on the color you buy and how cloudy/bright it is where u live.

My husband painted both sides of the panels with a chocolate brown paint. It looks amazing and completely filters the light! It took a long time, but was completely worth it. Good luck!

Alot depends on the size of the existing lamps (PAR38 100w?) and the height at which the fixture will be placed. Since it sounds as though this is for the function of the deck Vs just security I would go with a higher output. Haveing said that I would definetly reccommend LED for energy conservation and they attract "less" bugs. Good Luck

Yes you can I used an air plane switch to make it look nice. Look up on you tube how to install a switch to lights.

Applied on skylights in a cathedral ceiling! Installation was challenging to get really smooth even with the special kit but the film does control glare. I live in New England, however.

There are not really skylights just a clear plastic rail down the middle of the roof . But does give off a lot of light.

Yes, I have them in all my lights on the ceiling and use in my outside light. I really like them alot. Gives off a better light I think. I hear they also use less electric.

Yes. I cut the fabric and placed it over skylights. You might want to secure the sides from unraveling since they would blow in the wind. I am very happy with the product and appreciate the protection front he sun plus you can still see through it.

Depends on what kind of light it is. If it's an unobstructed view of the sky there should be no lines or banding, with a possible opacity gradient (and supposedly no color temperature shift - that would be a hint of a cheap filter).

I don't know about inside or outside (manufacturer-seller would know) but I would think it would be fine for a skylight. Properly applied it is invisible on the window.

Since I have them on my skylights I don't know.. but my husband has one as a shade outside his den window, and it let's in the air just fine..and keeps it from being hot in there...

Unfortunately yes. On a sunny day, my living room floods with sunlight and tough to see screen clearly with reflections. At night, it is much better with ambient lamps for lighting.

We put large globe shaped 110W bulbs in them because we liked the look. They could take LEDs or compact fluorescent, but the bulb might be way up in the neck. If i were using a small bulb i would probably use an extension to get it down to the edge of the shade. They are nice shades.

I would say yes you can. I used mine on a sun screen for one side of my awning and they were fine.

You will need additional lighting because the wattage just isn't that big. I have them on either side of a 14ft (9 ft of window) x 5ft bump-out that I'm using as a dining area in my apartment, and they provide soft lighting rather than strong illumination. But they DO provide enough light that I don't have to have overhead lights in the area.

Depending on the height of the ceiling I would space them farther apart. I am currently using 1 to illuminate my 8x20 wood shed.

I agree with Dustin. These work great for lighting "effects" but not much more than that. 8 may do the trick but I can't personally attest to that. We use 4 of them against a back wall for some really nice color ambient effects. I'm definitely happy with the lights at this price for this purpose, but they're not gonna light a whole lot if you're looking to illuminate a stage.
